Architecture - Landform Buildings

Last year 2012, during my gap year, I had been one of the luckiest people to be able to work along side one of the leading architects in Malaysia, Kuching Sarawak, Ar. Mike Boon. He had been contributing in Kuching architecture for quite some twenty years or more and is probably one of the most enthusiastic and motivated architects in conservating Kuching architecture.

Nonetheless, the topic today would be the possibilities of future Kuching architecture based on ideas of landscape urbanism following the computational era of the 21st century. I would be using one of Ar.Mike Boon's Benak or Panaroma Park (Taman Panaroma) as an example on emerging building landscapes.

The progression of CAD, Rhino, Revit and other programme, in it's availability and affordability, particularly those that enables the construction, changes the way of how we should we should (re)think architecture. Indulging in the free form architecture was not the means of this post.
It is just an exclamation mark of how Kuching architecture could lack an awakening siren for the Monday blues.
